DWTS Season 13 – Rumor Round Up, Part II
Okay, it’s about that time again! Funny, I was thinking there hadn’t been enough new rumors to cover since I did Part I – and realized that I have a poor sense of what happened when. ๐ There have been quite a few!!
Remember in that first post when I said how fun this was and it’s my favorite part of the season of blogging?? ย Well, that’s still true, and I enjoy my what seems like daily DM sessions with Vogue as we try to figure out what to post and what to ignore…but I’m ready for Monday now. ๐ I’m tired of reading parts of Twitter that I normally would avoid like the plague and I’m ready to start writing fresh Cheese. ๐ ย Only a few more days till the announcement!! Yay. ย NOTE: Don’t forget that I’m live blogging the announcement right here at PureDWTS. ย Once the announcement is made, I’m going to guess who got who (well, some of those are out in the open already ๐ ) in a post that will likely be earlyย Tuesdayย morning – get your guesses ready so you can add them in the comments. ย Wednesday morning we will post the official pairings and let the screams of “ringer” and whining and hand wringing begin!! ๐ I’ll go first…This is Maks’ FOURTH either high profile or talented partner in a row!!! ย Heh. Just thought I would put that out there before people start bitching about Derek. ๐
On with the show…First up, those “rumors” that are pretty darn non-rumorish at this point:
Hope Solo – first it was a hint, then a tweet that sort of implied that she wasn’t, then it was a tease, and then she kinda outed herself on twitter.
David Arquette – seen at dance studio with Kym Johnson.
For New Rumors that Seem Solid:
Ryan O’Neal – this one comes from ET, which makes it somewhat credible.
Kim Richards – I only believe this one because it just came out yesterday and it sounds like Celebuzz spotted her at a dance studio. We’ll see. ๐
Those Rumors that I Just Don’t Believe, for a Variety of Reasons:
Jenna Jameson – she’s a former porn star!! ย But she was following some pros…
Elisabetta Canalis – this cameย from E! News, who claim “many sources” are telling them Elizabetta is signing on. But this would be a new level of “WHO?” for most people, I think.
In the category of “Do DJs in Small Markets have any cred??”:
Erica Durance – think this one might be serious wishful thinking. It came from a comment on a USA Today article referencing what he heard a DJ say. Convoluted enough for ya?? ๐ Her people have since said it’s false.
Henry Winkler – two different DJs tweeted about this one today and I don’t know what to make of it. Hmmm…
Which rumors do I think might be true?? Well, besides Hope and David, I think the following are pretty solid:
Chynna Phyllips
Kristin Cavallari
Chaz Bono (TMZ just claimed he’s in for sure. We said this days ago, hello?)
Kim Richards
Rob Kardashian
I have other thoughts, but these are all I’m willing to share right now. ๐
I so love these gathered rumors posts so much. They help put it all into perspective. And Heidi, I’ll miss our DM rumor discussions too. They’ve been a blast and you’ve helped so much when I’m unsure on something!! Here’s to Monday! ๐
Anything on Christina Milian?
Im just not sold on Kimmy Richards yet. I am however on Chaz, Robert K, Hope. David, and about sold on Ryan too and im praying Dwayne Wade is true! ๐
Hope Solo is not the only tease, eh Heidi ๐
I thought Rob K. was pretty solid, no? I don’t see him on your list.
Upgrade comes at a perfect time, for me personally ๐ I’ll be spending the day with my friend’s 90 year old mom while said friend is out of town. it’s out of town, so I won’t be home until night (East Coast) – just in time for DWTS to be up again …timing is everything, right LOL
Agree with Vogue – mucho thanks for the round up. My head was spinning ๐ It still is, but that might be from the wine ๐
Crap, linde – I knew I was forgetting someone. Yes, I think he’s solid. ๐
Thanks, Heidi! Seeing the rumors all in one spot like this, it doesn’t look half bad!
Thanks for bringing a bit of sanity back to me by combining everything into one little post. The cast of females better have some surprises, at this point some of them are just bland to me.
A couple things:
Could Jenna be considered controversial???
Elisabetta who? Some unknown took a muchwanted spot from a real celebrity.
Hope Solo: Maybe this is Maks lucky charm…. This year could be his solo hope to win the MBT?? ๐ Get it!! ๐
I need some Hope as well, that Hurricane Irene does not take down the electricity…… What will I do??
we dodged a bullet with Irene here in SC. Our friends in NC not so lucky (those poor folks get hit with ALL the storms) but not as hefty as initially feared. I’m sending prayers and keeping good thoughts for our brothers and sisters to the north
Hope and prayers going out to anyone in the path of Hurricane Irene. We havent been hit yet but are prepping for it in case. I Pray there is are no loss of life due anywhere on the east coast due to this storm….. fingerscrossed everyone…
I really understand what these poor people in NC are going through as im Mississippi and have very strong memories of Katrina which completely devastestad the coast, flooded New Orleans, and did alot of damage to Jackson aswell ” and ofcourse surrounding areas “. Prayers for everyone on the east coast!
My thoughts and prayers are with all of those in the way of this hurricane as well. Linde, glad you dodged the bullet and I hope your friends are ok. Sandy, be safe!!!!
Thinking of everyone on the eastern seaboard of the US. I’m on the east of Canada and we’re suppose to get a tropical storm, but nothing like you guys! Stay safe!
The press here in Brazil echoed that Chaz is in…
So many mean comments about Chaz dancing today on twitter. It makes me cry. ๐
So many people are rude and cruel and ignorant, Vogue. It’s really shameful. *hugs up*
Yep, they sure are. Thanks Evaine and hugs right back!!!!xxx
Thanks for posting. I’m still hoping Antonio Sabata Jr will be a contestant (he tweeted a few weeks ago he had exciting news, but couldn’t share what it was yet). From what little I know about him, he seems sweet, and like he’d be a fun contestant.
The mean comments are one of the reasons I was hoping Chaz would not be on DWTS.
Prayers for everyone on the East Coast.
“David Arquette โ seen at dance studio with Kym Johnson.” Just taking a private dance lesson with Kim. Which made me think, how about Tina Turner!!!! No rules, just right.
@Bruce – Nah. I read somewhere that David had already let the cat out of the bag on Howard Stern’s radio show – he said he was doing DWTS, and was dancing with Kym. Also, the dance studio he was seen at is the studio DWTS uses for rehearsals. At this point, it would be a major psych-out if David ISN’T dancing with Kym.
Actually, that’s why I think it’s really good that Chaz is on DWTS – there is no changing some peoples ignorant, bigoted POVs, but if you don’t put yourself out there and try, nothing will ever change. If you are going to be an activist – which I think he really is – you have to be willing to put yourself out there and fight against those types of people.
All those mean comments (and I’ve seen them too) say nothing about Chaz, but they say a whole lot about the people making them – and it ain’t good.
Heidi, we may disagree about our boys sometimes, but dammit, it’s posts like the above that are the reason I number you among my buddies. ๐ *hugs up* You’re a smart cookie.
Back at ya, sister. ๐
Same here Evaine! Heidi, RIGHT ON!!!xx
I have to say from everyone who has ever danced to try and get a message out there, this will be one of the most important. Here’s to Chaz breaking boundaries and stopping ignorance and hate.
What Chaz is doing is so brave. I admire him enormously for facing this challenge with all the ridicule that may come his way. Good for him!
I am all about sending a message through this show. If one person is helped in a good way then its all been worth it. I for one will be sending Chaz a few votes on Monday night.
My only worry about him is if he can dance…
I’m seeing it all over the place tonight that Ron Artest is confirmed, he would certainly be controversial. And Hope Solo is once again confusing the crap out of everyone on twitter.
Don’t know how she’s confusing anyone… she said she’s in Washington and implies she’ll be heading to Hollywood, which is what is expected for a DWTS appearance, and in line with her earlier tweet since tomorrow is the infamous “Sunday”.
Kristin Cavallari is such a fake. ..much worse than Audrina Patridge whom I still don’t like. Snooki acts stupid and is barely tolerable but at least she’s not as stuck up. K. Cavallari will probably pretend to be cute and nice if she gets the Pro Dancer she wants or has a major crush on just so it won’t turn him off. Please don’t put her on… My family and I will probably skip this season .. but I love Derek and he’s coming back! argh!!!!
If she’s phony…..is that Mark’s cell phone I hear?
